Singapore to Medan Skies in 2026: Is Scoot’s New Daily Flight About to Outshine Batik Air Indonesia
Scoot and Batik Air Indonesia are being positioned as the two most relevant choices for travellers planning non stop journeys between Singapore Changi Airport and Medan Kualanamu International Airport in early 2026. As this city pair continues to grow in importance for both business and leisure traffic, a detailed understanding of how these two carriers differ is proving crucial for passengers who wish to optimise comfort, cost, and connectivity.
As of February 2026, three airlines are operating non stop flights between Singapore Changi Airport and Medan Kualanamu International Airport. These airlines are Singapore Airlines, Scoot, and Batik Air Indonesia. Among them, Scoot and Batik Air Indonesia are being seen as the most directly comparable options for budget conscious and mid range travellers on this corridor. Scoot has launched a new daily service on 1 February 2026 as part of the Singapore Airlines Group expansion strategy in Southeast Asia, while Batik Air Indonesia, a subsidiary of the Lion Air Group, has already been operating daily flights on this route for some time.

Scoot Launching New Flights from Singapore to Best Big City in the World
SINGAPORE- Scoot (TR) has launched direct flights between Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) and Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND), entering one of Asia’s most competitive long-haul leisure and business routes. The service places the low-cost carrier alongside All Nippon Airways (NH), Japan Airlines (JL), and parent Singapore Airlines (SQ) at Haneda.
The move expands Scoot’s Japan network to 45 weekly flights and increases overlap within the Singapore Airlines Group portfolio, as both Scoot (TR) and Singapore Airlines (SQ) operate between Singapore (SIN) and Tokyo (HND).
Scoot’s new Haneda service began operations on Sunday, marking a strategic shift for the budget airline. Haneda Airport (HND), located closer to central Tokyo than Narita International Airport (NRT), offers shorter ground transfer times and stronger domestic connectivity.
